On Sunday, the Iran-backed Houthis made a surprise pit stop at the United Nations' food and children’s agencies offices in Yemen’s capital, apparently mistaking them for a snack bar — but nope, just detained at least one unlucky UN employee. No ransom demands for UNICEF ice cream or World Food Program snacks have been reported yet. The capital city went from zero to hostage drama faster than you can say 'emergency aid.' All this chaos courtesy of the group supposedly affiliated with Iran, proving that even international food helpers can't catch a break in Yemen’s conflict zone. Tune in next week for 'Houthis vs. United Nations: Office Edition.'
